Truck Tour


Truck Tour


Suppose there is a circle. There are  petrol pumps on that circle. Petrol pumps are numbered  to  (both inclusive). You have two pieces of information corresponding to each of the petrol pump: (1) the amount of petrol that particular petrol pump will give, and (2) the distance from that petrol pump to the next petrol pump.
Initially, you have a tank of infinite capacity carrying no petrol. You can start the tour at any of the petrol pumps. Calculate the first point from where the truck will be able to complete the circle. Consider that the truck will stop at each of the petrol pumps. The truck will move one kilometer for each litre of the petrol.
Input Format
The first line will contain the value of .
The next  lines will contain a pair of integers each, i.e. the amount of petrol that petrol pump will give and the distance between that petrol pump and the next petrol pump.
Constraints:

Output Format
An integer which will be the smallest index of the petrol pump from which we can start the tour.
Sample Input
3
1 5
10 3
3 4
Sample Output
1
Explanation
We can start the tour from the second petrol pump.

Adaptive Software Development (ASD)

Adaptive Software Development (ASD) :- Adaptive Software Development(ASD) has been proposed by Jim High smith as technique for building complex software and system. ASD focus on human collaboration and team self-organization. Jim High smith defines an ASD "Life Cycle" that consist of three phases  Speculation Collaboration learning  During speculation, the project is initiated and adaptive cycle planning is conducted. Adaptive cycle planning uses project Initiation information,the customer's mission statement ,basic requirements and project constraint to define the set of release cycles that will be required for the project. Collaboration encompasses communication and team-work but it also enphasizes individualism because individual creativity plays an important role in collaborative thinking.It is all above all,a matter of trust. people working together must trust one another to comment without war help without irritation work as hard as ...

Dijkstra's algorithm

Djikstra's algorithm   solves the problem of finding the shortest path from a point in a graph (the  source ) to a destination. It turns out that one can find the shortest paths from a given source to  all  points in a graph in the same time, hence this problem is sometimes called the  single-source shortest paths  problem. This problem is related to the spanning tree one. The graph representing all the paths from one vertex to all the others must be a spanning tree - it must include all vertices. There will also be no cycles as a cycle would define more than one path from the selected vertex to at least one other vertex. For a graph, G = (V,E) where V is a set of vertices and E is a set of edges. Dijkstra's algorithm keeps two sets of vertices: S    the set of vertices whose shortest paths from the source have already been determined  and V-    S :   the remaining v...

Kruskal’s Minimum Spanning Tree Algorithm & Programme

PROBLEM :                  Kruskal's algorithm is a minimum-spanning-tree algorithm which finds an edge of the least possible weight that connects any two trees in the forest. It is a greedy algorithm in graph theory as it finds a minimum spanning tree for a connected weighted graph adding increasing cost arcs at each step. To understand Kruskal's algorithm let us consider the following example − Step 1 - Remove all loops and Parallel Edges Remove all loops and parallel edges from the given graph. In case of parallel edges, keep the one which has the least cost associated and ove all others. Step 2 - Arrange all edges in their increasing order of weight The next step is to create a set of edges and weight, and arrange them in an ascending order of weightage (cost). Step 3 - Add the edge which has the least weightage Now we start adding edges to the graph beginning from the one which has the least weight. Th...
